Boney's Alibis:

During the first series of interviews, Boney was asked to provide an alibi for September 28, 2000. As one might expect, he didn't have an alibi, commenting, "I don't have a tight alibi. I don't remember anything back in that uh…I mean you know it's been almost 5 years."

Amazingly enough, however, less than two weeks later, on February 28th, he provided the defense investigator with the names of several different individuals or couples that he had contact with on September 28, 2000, what time he had contacted them and for what reason he contacted them. He apparently also told the investigators of the same alibis but there was no police report provided to the defense to that effect. Nonetheless, the police were certainly aware of his alibi witnesses no later than February 28th.

Boney claimed that he first saw a local veterinarian at 2:00PM on September 28th and that he went to the office of the vet, where he also went on several later occasions, in order to borrow money. The first question that comes to mind is why he thought that 2:00PM was an alibi. After all, the murders didn't occur until after 7:35PM. Remember that at least two people saw a dark colored luxury car, matching Boney's blue Cadillac, on Lockhart Lane at around that same time. Boney was attempting to provide an alibi that would prove he wasn't in front of the Camm residence scoping out his target.

The veterinarian was soon interviewed by the defense and he denied the story and also denied that Boney had been in his office at any time. According to Boney, the vet also recommended that Boney contact a local minister. That referral to the minister didn't occur, according to the vet, who stated that he didn't know even know the minister.

The second alibi of Boney's was the minister and his wife whom Boney claimed he contacted at their residence between 5:00-6:00PM on the 28th. The minister, when later interviewed by the defense, said that his wife suffered from dementia at the time and contrary to what Boney claimed, she wouldn't have known anybody at the time. He also didn't recall Boney ever asking for a loan or even being in his house.

Boney claimed that his former brother-in-law, his wife, and some guests (whose names he couldn't recall) who were at a cookout would be the perfect alibi witnesses because Boney recalled being at their Louisville home around 7:00PM-7:30PM. Those two were soon interviewed by the defense and they recalled Boney stopping by with a girlfriend at a date unrecalled by them when they were having a cookout. The only problem with Boney's alibi, however, was that the two denied ever hosting cookouts on weekdays and September 28, 2000 fell on a Thursday.

Why did Boney think that the perfect alibi witnesses would alibi him for the period 7:00-7:30PM? That certainly implies knowledge of when the murders occurred; there was a window of opportunity for the murderer from 7:30PM until Camm found his family close to 9:30PM, yet Boney chose the earlier time as his perfect alibi.

The next alibi witness claimed by Boney was his girlfriend's uncle and employer who owned a restaurant in Louisville. Boney's girlfriend secured a $100 loan from her Uncle Joe somewhere around 8:00PM or 9:00PM that evening while Boney waited outside in his vehicle. The only problem with that alibi was that Boney didn't meet with Joe and Joe, when interviewed, claimed that he never lent $100 at any time to his niece.

The final alibi witness was the "second perfect" alibi witness, according to Boney. That person was with him throughout the day and was his girlfriend, Mala Singh. At the time of his interviews, Singh was nowhere to be found. Only later did the Trinidad native provide stories which changed significantly over time. Her DNA was also later matched to the unknown female DNA on the "BACKBONE" sweatshirt.

Regarding that unknown female DNA on the sweatshirt, it's interesting to note that Boney offered what may be construed as hints. During his interview with the defense on February 28th, he made the following comment, "Ok. Where did the female DNA come from? Is that female responsible for these murders?"

Even more prophetic, four days later, he included the following in his written statement, when he stated that his sweatshirt had "unknown female DNA that could have belonged to the helper of the Camm murders." Charles Boney has always thought that he was smarter than others, including the police. His comments about the unknown female DNA possibly belonging to the "helper of the murders" can be viewed as him telling the police that he and Singh were responsible but that the police weren't smart enough to figure that out.

What did the police do about Boney's alibi witnesses and when were they interviewed? One would think that the police and prosecutors would want to know if they were valid alibi witnesses or not, particularly before publicly vouching for Boney and his story about how the sweatshirt got to the crime scene.

The following exchange took place between investigator Kessinger and Boney during Boney's March 4th interview:

Boney: "I just want to ask one simple question. Did you check all of my alibis?"

Kessinger: "Not yet. I was, I was doing that until I got this call today."

Most investigators would think that proving or disproving an alibi claimed by a suspect in a triple murder investigation would be of paramount importance. That wasn't the case for Mr. Boney, however, inasmuch as the former brother-in-law and his wife, with whom Boney claimed to have been at or near the time of the murders, weren't interviewed by the "Fresh Eyes" investigators and it was only later that some of the others were finally interviewed.
